falling leaves + temperatures: a fall roundup

this weekend while i was staring at the frat house that our apartment has become (i think every room has an empty water or beer bottle in it) i felt the need to wipe the slate clean and start fresh. because i’m something of an extremist, my immediate reaction was to look at aaron and say “we need to move.” that’s surely the easiest way to escape clutter, right? while we both agreed to finally get back on the market and start hunting for a new apartment i decided it was also time to pack away my summer clothes (goodbye, cut offs. i’ll miss you) and start thinking about a few new fall wardrobe choices. but because my brain always drifts right back to home design, i thought i’d compose a little shopping wish list of all of the fall-focused home and fashion pieces i’ve craving. i’ve tend to live my life vicariously through these roundups rather than actually buying any of these pieces, but this time i’m hoping i make it home with those boots and one of the gorgeous trays below. if we’re going to have bottles around the house, they might as well pile up on cute trays, right? hope you enjoy the roundup and cooler weather outside. here’s to fall! xo, grace

I love the Eames Hang-It-All in walnut. The colour balls of the original were never my thing. The walnut balls are much more versatile, and the black wire will show up beautifully against lighter-coloured walls.

The Aberdeen boots from Madewell are so fun and perfect for Fall! You should get them! After putting together numerous outfits on Polyvore paired with these boots, I decided to treat myself. Also, the Hang It All is totally is on my wishlist.
